Elizabeth

I have seen these flowers all over. They are growing like parasites on other plants. All of a sudden. Where are they coming from?

Outer space?

What are you talking about? A space flower?

Well why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships?

I've NEVER expected metal ships.

Elizabeth

Yep, Boccardo's pills. He eats it like candy... or used to. Take some.

What are they?

Elizabeth, could you please tell me, in your opinion, what is going on?

Elizabeth

People are being duplicated. And once it happens to you, you're part of this... thing. It almost happened to me!

Elizabeth

I keep seeing these people, all recognizing each other. Something is passing between them all, some secret. It's a conspiracy, I know it.

There can't be a conspiracy!

Elizabeth

Matthew, I'm telling you something is going on here.

Elizabeth

I hate you.

We don't hate you - there's no need for hate now. Or love.

Elizabeth

There are people who will fight you. Stop you.

In an hour you won't want them to. Don't be trapped by old concepts, Matthew, you're evolving into a new lifeform.

Do you want to go see my friend David Kibner?

Elizabeth

The psychiatrist?

Not like that. Talk to him. He would put things into perspective. -...

Elizabeth

I'm not crazy.

No, no, no. I'm serious. He would eliminate whether Geoffrey was having an affair, or had become gay. Whether he had a social disease, or had become a Republican. All the things that could have happened to have made you feel he had changed.

Elizabeth

Matthew, we'll never be able to stop them!

Yes, we will.

Elizabeth

We can't! Look it, they control the whole city.

We'll find a way somehow.

Elizabeth

Oh, Matthew, I can't go on! I wanna go to sleep. I can't stay awake any more.

You have to. You have to stay awake.
